Hi Liz and Paul,
We're still in Old Windsor at the moment, so not as close as you, but happy to
help when not working or at college. Perhaps we could give them "team" help
together?
What advice would we give them if the colony swarms once established next year
or the year after? I know I'm somewhat jumping the gun!!
Best wishes,
Catherine

Don't mind helping out.

We've been contacted by a primary school in Reading who want to set up a
leave-alone hive with a window. They need mentoring, a swarm etc. I don't know
any natural beekeepers in Reading, does anyone on this mailing list?
The hive is one of these -

- which is like a one piece Warre. Ideal for schools: fit and forget; but if
they go to the BBKA for training they will get inappropriate advice.
